Where to Find a Top Quality "Web 2.0" Designer?

[bigdealioo]

I need to get the web 2.0 "bland/neutral/pseudo-clever/politically-correct/all-pleasing/pseudo-easygoing" light blue/white/green look that seems to have been the rage for awhile now. Think the design of stumbleupon.com, text-link-ads.com, mozilla.com, skype.com

Basically my site itself will not be very complex at all, but I'm willing to pay thru-the-nose for that "so-web2.0-PC" look that everyone seems to go for these days.

Where can I find designers who are capable of doing this?

Take a look round the net, find some of the sites you like and email them asking who designed them. In the UK we also have a few magazines dealing with web design, they usually run articles on design studios and spotlight peoples work, .Net is one.

Although have a good think if you want another generic web2 rubbish look, people are tiring of them these days. Maybe do something new?

Thanks for the advice. Ehh, no I'm pretty much set on getting this look. Personally, I can "see thru it" - but the reason it's gotten so popular - is - it works. Anyone else, please?
